China Post support

[Andrey Yurkovsky]

Please add China Post support.

Tracking service: http://intmail.183.com.cn/itemstatus_en.jsp

Example track number: RB841541020CN

Unfortunately, chinapost is captcha protected. Currently and in the foreseeable future I have no time to deal with image recognitions and captchas (and to be honest I'm especially not disposed to deal with captchas at all), so marking this as a wishlist.
Any patches will be welcomed.

What about 17track.net (track china post parcels without captcha)?

Example: http://www.17track.net/en/result/post.shtml?nums=RB841541020CN

[Vsevolod Velichko (torkvemada)]

It's extremely slow and returns tracking info in Chinese, are you sure you need it? :)

[Andrey Yurkovsky (andrey.yurkovsky)]

May by it will usefull for chinese users :-\

Additionaly potential solutions:
- track-china-post-air-mail at https://github.com/gotlium/track-china-post-air-mail
- EMS-China--Tracking-Captcha-Recognition at https://github.com/ccp0101/EMS-China--Tracking-Captcha-Recognition

One uses paid service antigate to break captchas.
The other one uses tesseract OCR command line tool to break captchas.
Both these ways are awful.

[Andrey Yurkovsky (andrey.yurkovsky)]

Another solution - open windows with captcha. What do you think about?

[Vsevolod Velichko (torkvemada)]

By default parcels infos are updated each 5 minutes. Would you be happy if you receive captcha request once per 5min per parcel?

[Andrey Yurkovsky (andrey.yurkovsky)]

Yes, it seems was bad idea.

Anthony, create a separate bug and put some working tracking number for tests there.
